# 219 - Prisoner of War
Continuing the Modern Commemoratives Dollar series, we will present you today the 1994 "Prisoner of War” graded by PCGS MS70.
All coins of this series weight 26.73g with 90% silver purity. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
They will be presented in the order they were minted.
This coin was issued for the Prisoner of War Memorial Museum to be built in Andersonville, Georgia.
The obverse of the coin depicts a bald eagle in flight. There is a broken chain on one leg and barbed wire encircling the design. This was representative of the eagle’s flight towards freedom.
The reverse features the plan view of the proposed Prisoner of War Museum, as rendered by Edgar Z. Steever.
A total of 54,893 coins were minted in West Point. The issue price was U$32.00. The actual price is around U$135.00 in this grade.
This series will continue very soon.
I hope you have enjoyed this article.
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
Was the Museum built? Or was only to get some money, like most Old Commemoratives?
Yes, it was built and it was inaugurated in 1998. At least the money they got was put in a good use.
